The House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church is meeting in Province IX in Quito, Ecuador (Diocese of Ecuador Central) from September 15 to September 20. The following is an account of the activities for Friday, September 16.
The House of Bishops opened its session on Friday with Morning Prayer, with parts in English, Spanish and French.

The morning discussion focused on Scriptural and Theological Foundation for Liberation Theology, presented in Spanish by Silvia Regina, Director of Departamento Ecumenico de Investigaciones (Department of Ecumenical Research).
At noon, Holy Eucharist was celebrated by Bishop Alfredo Morante, Diocese of Ecuador Litoral. Preachers were the HOB chaplains, the Rev. Simone Bautista, Diocese of Washington, and the Rev. Stephanie Spellers, Diocese of Massachusetts.
Bishop David Alvarez, Diocese of Puerto Rico, moderated the afternoon session on “Prophetic Proclamation and Liberation Theology” with Don Compier, professor at St. Paul School of Theology, Kansas City, MO; the Rt. Rev. Naudal Gomes, Bishop of Curitiba, Brazil; and Professor Silvia Regina, the morning speaker. All three speakers spoke of how the principles of liberation theology, which is God’s good news for the poor, can speak to our various church contexts. “There is only God and the poor,” said Prof. Regina, highlighting the importance of this theological understanding for authentic biblical witness today.
